Do you want to bring some color, fun and creative play into your journaling practice? The Daily Musings Journal gives you just the right space to go on a colorful & fun musings adventure*!

It offers a fun and simple format to help you capture your everyday moments

It is a relatively “blank canvas” with hand-drawn boxes set-up in week spreads for the entire year.

It provides space to color, sketch and doodle, to add quotes, gratitudes, dreams — or whatever inspires you on that day.

I created the Daily Musings Journal from a personal practice, and this practice has evolved into a fun “bite-sized” creative practice over the years.

It all began many years ago. I first started with day planners that I bought to track my workouts, adventures, thoughts, and feelings.

But soon these day planners began to feel restrictive, especially because they never gave me the same space for each day of the week. I almost started believing they were made for people who didn’t like the weekend – and fun and play.

How the journal has evolved:

After I was sure I wasn’t going to find the kind of journal I needed to fulfill my desire for a different kind of space, I began creating my own design, using a blank spiral bound journal I made.

I experimented with how I wanted to use the space, creating each week by hand. Creating week by week and month by month, I was perpetually behind and sloppy, so my motives for creating the Daily Musings Journal were partly selfish:
I wanted to have the entire year ready for the adventures of the new year – before the new year started!

How I use my Daily Musings Journal is constantly evolving, but I’ve settled on a design that I love.

I thought, there must be others of you out there that would love to have some open, yet defined space on which to muse about your daily adventures, thoughts, feelings, gratitudes and more!

And I wasn’t wrong!

2014 was the first year I published the Daily Musings Journal and I’m so pleased to know that I’m not the only who loves journaling this way.

I am so enjoying my musings journal this year…I’m in love with my morning ritual of musing/doodling :) I think I had to let go of some critic voices to really engage! What you offer thru this is really quite magical and inviting to our creative muses that still may need to do some planning, too… I kinda blend that… :) What you’ve created, your gift of this journal inspires creativity each day! And… living in the moment.~ Katey S.

A note from me with fun ideas for your musings adventure – including several doodle icon ideas

The clean black and white design lends itself – begs, really, for color! Thin line markers and colored pencils work really well. It’s also fun to use a plain old lead pencil to create a lovely monochromatic look. And all the lettering that looks hand-drawn (the words, along with the boxes) are… well… hand-drawn! By yours truly, Lisa – the mountain mermaid and your creative adventure guide.

A little bit about your Creative Adventure Guide:

Lisa, aka the mountain mermaid, is a Creative Adventure Guide living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. She lives by the motto Create, Play, Explore. When she’s not out exploring the trails she can often be seen pedaling around town with her colorful bag of journaling supplies. Embracing her creative life is an ongoing adventure, a journey that she loves and trusts more each year – and hopes to inspire others to do the same.

The Daily Musings Journal was born from her need for the perfect space for her personal creative practice of capturing her everyday magic moments. In creating the musings journal series she hopes to inspire you to cultivate your own bite-sized creative practice. She also hosts to Wild Soul Creative Painting Play Nights and other creative expression workshops. Her mermaid musings and tales share stories of her life – offering you inspiration to live your life filled with create, play & thrive.
